Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SPATA17 RNA is linked to patient survival in 22 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated SPATA17 data layer compared with 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in rectum adenocarcinoma (READ), where higher SPATA17 RNA is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SPATA17 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as READ and BRCA show a favorable association.
READ, LIHC, and LGG are the cancer types where SPATA17 RNA most reproducibly stratifies survival.
RNA survival associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
